will avoid it by some circumlocution.

somebody over a year ago on this sub¬

we did then, tkat, ( nothing more is

Milk as a. Vehicle for Quinine.
—Mr. R. L. Batterbury, M li, Lon¬
don, Berkhamatead, England, writing
the British Medical Journal, ob¬
seizes: I ; it is not, I believe, generally
known that milk is an element and con
.venient solvent for quinine, and that
it disguises to a great exteut its bit¬
terness. If one grain of sulphate of
quinine be dissolved in an ounce of
] milk, o^' we shall find hardly that the bitterness
the draught. i» perceptible;
with two grains there is rather more
bitterness, but it is not at all marked.
A dose of five milk grains may be taken in
two ounces of without an unplea¬
santly bitter taste; and if the same
quantity be put into a tumbler of mil,
the bitterness is ah but lost. This
method of administering preferable quinine the must,
in some cases, be to or¬
dinary way of dissolving the it in acid or
spirits, especially where bitter taste
is objected to-as in the case of chil

The existence of the western world was

ufacturing flour came to T. D. Jones of
Syracuse in a dream. Wm. Lee, an

of inventing a machine for that purpose:
thus was discovered and invented the
knitting loom. Suspension the discoverer bridges

At Troy, a few days ago, funerals
and mourning were discussed by a i
joint minister’s meeting, and sugges¬
tions have been laid before the congre¬
gations of the churches. It is recom¬
mended that all unnecessary expense
for flowers, and the distribution of
crape and gloves be avoided, and that
the burial service be made brief and
simple; even private funerals are en¬
couraged. The suggestion was made
that long-continued mourning be dis¬
continued as “inconsistent with a
Christian, spirit of submission to God’s
will and with Bible examples of
mourning.” An article in the London
Globe a few weeks ago called attention
to the curious fact that the Christian
nations of Europe, professors of a re¬
ligion which teaches that death is a
joyful event, following upon the Pagan
Empire, adopted unanimously the of
and without a struggle, as color
mourning garments, the black which
the Pagans had used before them.
Black, however, was not the color worn
by the earliest nation. In Egypt and it was
yellow, in Ethiopia, brown, in
China, white. Mahomet selected for
hie mourning robes violet or dark blue,
as emblematic of mingled grief and
hope, and in our own times there ha3
been an effort in England to introduce
the same color into funeral decorations.
Violet has played an Ancient and hon¬

with all his love for black velvet, ap¬

have been many instances in history
where restrictions funeral were placed shows upon and
extravagance in
manifestations of grief. In the Twelve
Tables of Rome there is an article for¬
bidding the practice of lacerating the
face with nails or with pointed instru¬
ments, and two other notable laws in
the Roman system limited the duration
